bpipe95 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Rumored $1699 msrp for the competition tactical. I can only go by what guys list in their FS threads of "what they have I to it, and that seems to be 2k+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhill Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The mods to a Versamax Tactical will cost about $340. It depends on whar the 3 gun edition sells for. I really doubt it will be up to par with what the custom shops put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradgsxr Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Has anyone heard anything about release dates on the 3 gun edition versa max? Will it be in 2013 even ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go by what guys list in their FS threads of "what they have I to it, and that seems to be 2k+ If that $$$ is correct then you could build one from a Sportsman like we did for my friend Sean, Or get a Sportsman and have Benny, Mark , Jeff C. or your favorite builder make one really ready to play with. FYI, no need to pay extra $$$ for knurled extended choke tubes when Rem sells them for <$17@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhill Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Better off buying a tactical model and having a custom shop do it the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If you are looking at shotguns, the Versa-Max Turkey is now available. They come in 22, 26 and 28" and have rifle sights. At about $900, it is $150 to $200 less than the Tactical. Add a TTI lifter and bolt handle and a Carbon Arms Versa-Tube and you are $ ahead. Just another option.

Bryan 45 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 TTI lifter for the Versamax? I didn't know they were available! There is no way to even get a shell in the stock Versamax without it drawing blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millisec Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Oh yeah... been looking long and hard and was close to sending it out to be welded. Ordered one about a minute after reading this. Nice looking stainless piece. SS does not list it specifically as VM compatible but the Taran Tactical site does (guess it is really a reminelli lol). That and a bit of filing on shell catch and new VM tactical should be ready for maiden voyage next month. I've only shot maybe 50 rounds buck/slugs and not even close to bitten but not taking that chance. Not fond of pain or bleeding like a stuck pig. That shell catch is the biggest issue. Not only does shell snag going in but it occasionally malfunctions and does not release a shell. Slug POI is not bad after loosening up the clamp by padding it and leaving tube slightly loose (~1/4 turn). Not a precision rifle but pretty center much center mass at 25yrds. Just hate to give up the sling mount or side rail for a one piece tube just yet. A +2 extension was good enough to tame that factory mag spring with no trimming required. I bet a lot of people never even mounted the top rail but I tried it out and was pleasantly surprised. Because of the semi circle cut running through the middle it works pretty good as 1/2 a ghost ring sight. BTW as far as REM Pro Bore extended chokes go I picked up a set of 4 (full, IC, MOD, LM) from CDNN NIB Remington STS comp chokes for $9.99 each. No laser name engraving but you can't beat the price.

USCSBarney Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Heard from someone who was at Rockcastle that the relase was first of 2014. Any insight as to that. Read the Recoil article but didn't say mich and nothing related to a release date. If this is going to be another "first of the year" becomes "end of the year", I will buy the Tactical and send to Benny. Had the same experience with the FN Competition model (vent rib barrel). Great Idea, never came out. Edited January 2, 2014 by USCSBarney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbmiester Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Its finally on the Remington Website price is $1699, no detail photos of the rear sight or the updated lifter unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowashooter Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If you google the SKU 81029 you will see some online retailers have their prices listed at about 1350-1450. I am looking forward to seeing one in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4sho Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 not bad looking, but not really sure about the green receiver, i would love to see one in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowashooter Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 These are pictures my cousin sent me from the shot show. Of course the one thing we all want to see, the loading port, was not included in his pictures. I am hoping he will have time to go back tomorrow morning to get a pic of it.

MickB Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just got back from SHOT and looked over this very closely. They have opened up the loading port and the new lifter is very well done. They have put a lot of thought into this one, that's for sure! Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not been able to find anything about a "turkey" model. Any leads? Nevermind - turkey model is hidden under sportsman and requires a little effort to find. Also, any idea if the new lifter will fit older models? Edited January 16, 2014 by bishop414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The new lifter should fit, but I have not tried it myself. Just a slight trim of the forearm...ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Mark and Bishop, the Sportsman model can be found around $775-800 depending on when you search Gunbroker. It comes in 26" and 28" barrel lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
